Amor – A Series of New Murals in Ukraine

[:en]

New and juicy update for Amor, the Argentinean artist in recent months has spent several weeks in Ukraine, where he had the opportunity to realize a rich and beautiful set of new pieces.
In Europe for the excellent Black Circle Festival – in the next days we’ll show you a complete recap about the Festival – the artist experiments a new series of dynamics work with a different aesthetic, leading to an abstract look that has particularly interested us.
The largest work titled “Colors are for people, not for flags”, is created in Kamenets Podolsky for Respublica Festival. The author here reflect on ethnic differences timely than ever in this particular period of important migratory flows. The second piece, entitled “Diagrams”, sees Amor reflect on the difficult situation between Ukraine and Russia. The artwork shows four circles representing diagrams and two color swatches showing the palette used in this mural. According to certain statistics drawn from both oficial and informal sources of information and from personal conclusions reached in-situ, the first blue and red pie chart represents the people of Ukraine. Blue symbolizes pro-Ukranian individuals and red symbolizes pro-Russian individuals.
The second diagram shows eight eighths of the same size in primary, secondary, black and white colors, each one laid face to face with its opposite. This conjunction represents coexistence, proving that antagonism is an inevitable condition for life. Moreover, it also represents a pizza with eight flavors, alluding to diversity.
The third diagram is a violence calculator. The pure blue and the tones in its scale at the top of the circle symbolize a lighter energy relating to a peaceful situation. The pure red and its variants at the base of the circle refer to a violent situation and a heavier energy. The fourth diagram represents those individuals who oppose war and violence. They are therefore in direct contact with “the light” compared to those who do support war and violence. This last diagram symbolizes the sun, 100% full of color and light.
However, diagrams are geometric shapes that study numbers in a given context and do not represent reality, they just talk about reality. The reality is that there is a war.
The latest work sees Amor return to his more canonical style with a mixture of natural and spontaneous figures and elements belonging to the flora and fauna of Ukraine.
